Remijsen Bert, Ayoker Otto Gwado. A Descriptive Grammar of Shilluk

University of Hawai’i Press, 2018. — 415 p.This special publication of Language Documentation and Conservation presents descriptive analyses on topics in the grammar of Shilluk, a Nilo-Saharan language spoken primarily in South Sudan. A salient characteristic of Shilluk is that it is rich in fusional morphology. That is, stem-internal changes, particularly in terms of tone and vowel length, have a high functional load in the paradigms of verbs and nouns. From 2008 onwards, we have built up a detailed understanding of these contrasts and their role in grammar.
